Daniel Porter how to introduce REI to my girlfriend?
25 August 2020 | 18 replies
she dug Your Money or Your Life, and is currently reading 4 hour work week. she's really digging it, and we're already starting to make lifestyle plans for our future. the problem for real estate investing, is that we did the dave ramsey class together, and she's huge on not being in debt. she's struggled to get out of it in the past, and has only her student loans left. assuming the world doesn't end, haha, she'll be out of debt in about 12-16 months, and still in her early 20s. when i try to explain the difference between "good" debt that creates more income than it costs, and "bad" debt that doesn't create income, or appreciation. consumer debt vs business debt. that kind of thing... it doesn't really click tho, and she's still hesitant. she's a w2 earner (i'm a 1099) with decent income, so she could easily land an FHA loan and lock in a house hack within the next year, allowing her to save/invest tons of money and kick the whole thing off even faster. i would love to present this to her in a way that doesn't seem forced, or "i'm right you're wrong do it my way". i want her to really get it on her own, to understand the power that real estate has to change your life. anyone else dealt with this before?

you can potentially run into very sticky situations with disclosures were you to sell that place We’re you to call the board of contractors and tell them about the situation, he would most likely be dead meat.. they would most likely decide he absolutely did not perform in a workman like manner, and if it progressed to legal suit, the judge would see his board found him guilty of wrong doing and rule in your favor That being said....
